| Just what percentage of digital artifacts removed I think we've debated this topic enough. You prefer vinyl. Enjoy it! I will enjoy my digital. On my system, guitars never sound like birds chirping (except that bit that Duane Allman did on Layla) and kick drums never sound like cardboard boxes. | |
| Re-issue, CD, SACD, Tape....LP....and what studio tapes are being used.... Yes you lose something with each generation of tape. The quality of what is committed to the tape also varies widely from album to album. How many times the tape was played and what equipment it was played on and many other factors affect the sou... | |
| How many of you are digital only systems? I believe neither analog nor digital are plug n play, they both require fair amount of attention to detail. Yes, but once digital gets to the play stage, you’re pretty much finished with maintenance, cleaning, tweaking, etc. With analog, you’re j... | |
| Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: Marty can be effusive in his praise of other artists. I remember seeing him introduce Steve Earle on one of Marty's shows. Steve was just over his heroin addiction and had put on a LOT of weight. He was huge (not important but it was just a sho... | |
| Bobby Whitlock on All Things Must Pass. ATMP is my favorite solo Beale album by far and easily in my top 7 favorite albums of all time . Could not help but go for the Uber Deluxe edition. That is one nice looking Uber set, gpgr4blu. It doe look like something that will become an he... | |
| Streaming Transport without DAC- few choices If you're interested in Roon, they have a Nucleus which hosts their software and acts as a streamer for $1500. | |
| Bobby Whitlock on All Things Must Pass. Here’s a section of a recent Mojo magazine article on the 50th ATMP:Paul Hicks was the guy who actually worked the machines for the restoration.“BACK IN JANUARY 2001, only 10 months before his death, George Harrison expressed his ongoing dissatisf... | |
| Bobby Whitlock on All Things Must Pass. This is a 50th anniversary remix supervised by Dhani. Thankfully for me, Jeff Lynne got nowhere near this project, as far as I know. It will not make your copy of the original mix disappear.According to Dhani, George repeatedly said that he would ... | |
| Question about tubes I don’t know the purpose of each tube in your MD, but unless MD does some extra screening of its tubes, which you would have to ask them about, a low noise, matched set of JJs from Tube Depot should be OK. Manufacturers often ask a lot more for th... | |
| Tube vendors. I won't try to tell you what to buy, audition_audio, but tubes were bulk packed for industrial and military users. So NOS tubes can come in white boxes. | |
| How many of you are digital only systems? I have brushed and flipped more vinyl than many of the vinyl fanatics (I’m old), but I don’t do it anymore. I still have my turntable and vinyl but I haven’t played a vinyl record in a long time. My digital sounds great and I can stream so much mu... | |
| Joni Mitchell, BLUE album is 50 years old, NYT Article Couldn't read the article, but Joni had a huge impact on songwriting and Blue may be her masterpiece. She was and is a complicated person, but I guess most great artists are. I love the album. | |
| Van Morrison Latest Record Project I’ve only listened to a couple of tracks on youtube (I’m away from home) so take this for what it’s worth. Van has been criticized by some for making the same album over and over for the last few years. They're all pleasant enough, but they all se... | |
| I heard the Box OK. I’m glad to hear that your position on tubes has evolved Just to make sure that my memory hasn’t become entirely unreliable, I did a quick search and came across this post:millercarbon9,639 posts05-07-2019 2:01pmI’ve tried a bunch over the yea... | |
| I heard the Box millercarbon9,636 posts I always dreamed of meeting another who can actually hear these things. Chuck, one thing has always cast doubt on your superior hearing abilities for me. It’s your claim that there is no difference between the sound of diff... |
